A student at Morristown High School is presumed to be positive for the coronavirus after displaying symptoms, the Morris School District announced on Friday. The district said a member of the student’s household has already tested positive for the fast-spreading respiratory virus.

Morristown High School’s last day of classes was March 13 before closing out of caution, and the district said the student attended classes through that day. It said the student had been exposed to the coronavirus before the school was shut down.

“The student in question was exposed to the virus prior to March 13 and was in attendance at school prior to March 13," the district said in a statement. "We have not received any reports of other students experiencing illnesses with symptoms resembling those of COVID-19.

“The symptoms of COVID-19 can be similar to the regular seasonal influenza and include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. Some people have reported additional symptoms at onset, such as a runny nose and sore throat," the statement says. "Please be watchful for any of the above symptoms in members of your household, and if they develop, please contact a medical provider by phone to receive further instructions.”

Morristown High School joins a list of schools from across New Jersey with connections to positive tests for the coronavirus. Within Morris County, a Mount Olive Middle School employee and a nursery school employee at a pre-school associated with the Morristown Jewish Center have tested positive.
